Summary:
The 12916 zip code area is home to two schools - Brushton Grade School and Brushton-Moira High School, both part of the Brushton-Moira Central School District. While Brushton-Moira High School appears to be the stronger performer, the district as a whole faces significant challenges that will require a multi-faceted approach to address.
Brushton-Moira High School has a higher statewide ranking, better graduation rates, and stronger test scores across various subjects and grade levels compared to Brushton Grade School. The high school has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average, but also a concerning 4.9% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism is an issue at the high school, with a 34.1% rate, which could be contributing to lower test scores and graduation rates.
Brushton Grade School, on the other hand, has relatively low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, where scores trail the district and state averages. Both schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, around 60%, indicating a high-need student population. Addressing attendance issues, improving math proficiency, and providing targeted support for the high-need student population could be important priorities for the district to improve overall academic outcomes.
